This malicious software has received updates through the Telegram messenger for six months. Despite the estimated additional level of protection for the account, this phishing set of utilities offers different methods of deception of potential victims.
This means that hackers are not limited to account information, they can access users, passwords, credit card numbers, banking information and more. Previously, phishing tools could only be effective by sending suspicious links in emails, but Astaroth offers an alternative method: a fake web page duplicates any "legitimate" page, and a phishing filter simply does not recognize it. Astaroth attacks were first recorded last May.
